PINBALL WIZARD has an 8lb hike to contend with but returned an easy winner over track and trip last time. He’s now won two of only three outings here and can go in again. Onaraggatip placed over 7f yet again when third at Leicester but Strike went close at Bath on his handicap bow and should be in the mix once again. Puerto De Vega debuts for Stuart Williams’ yard having won over 7f at Dundalk during the summer and Newcastle winner For Peat's Sake may prove best of the rest.
